Typing up more interview transcripts.

It was bad enough doing them from audio recordings but these ones are video recordings of Teams meetings.

The audio is much clearer but I have to look at my own ugly mug talking at me.

Question for you, should a candidate be allowed to watch the teams recording of a job interview?

After the interview has been done?

If they were unsuccessful, No.

If they were successful, I'd be having a conversation as to why they want to. Watching a video of yourself presenting or being interviewed is definitely cringe worthy but also has benefits for learning. It depends on their motivation and the situation.

Thanks, I asked to watch one but the HR person never got back to me. I was curious if my answers were as bad as they felt on the day and any learnings I could get from it.

But I ended up getting a job I’d had an interview for the day before that I felt I did poorly in

Yeah, look you can always ask for feedback but recruiters are going to be defensive and cautious of giving you anything you could use against them. Plus that, once they've made a decision they have little interest in the unsuccessful candidate and don't want to spend time in something that has no benefit to them.

The best advice I could give for interviews is to try to anticipate from the selection criteria what kind of questions you'll be asked.

Expect behavioral questions like "tell me about a time when ABC happened, what did you do, how did it work out" and take some time to write yourself some prompts about suitable situations you were in, so you aren't doing a goldfish impersonation under pressure.

most important thing is try to relax and let them see who you are just a bit. . If they don't like who you are, you probably don't want to work there anyway. Let them see your personality, but without going stupid.

When people break the law and yet get treated as the victim by the always outraged social media mob.

Eels halfback Mitch Moses, who was lining up a kick at goal at the time, was also stunned by the level of aggression in the tackle, with vision showing him putting his hands on his heads in shock as the pitch invader was slammed into the ground.
and
The Gold Coast Titans are reviewing the security provider at their home ground of Cbus Super Stadium after a female streaker was brutally tackled to the ground during the club’s loss to the Parramatta Eels on Saturday night.

In a statement provided to 7NEWS, the club said it was make enquiries about the tackle, described as ‘heavy handed’ by Titans chairman Dennis Watt.

...

The club’s chairman earlier said the tackle, which left the streaker completely airborne, put the pitch invader at serious risk of injury.

“There needs to be a review of what happened,” Watt told News Corp.

“From where I was sitting it did seem heavy-handed. It could have been handled better.

“You heard this collective intake of breath around the ground.

“It did seem over the top and it put the intruder at real physical risk.”
So, the chairman of the home team and a star of the away team were outraged by this - but you'd like to do a drive-by on the "outraged social media mob"? :roll:

Two things.

1. She shouldn't have been on the ground, security treated her the same as they would a bloke. if people think they should have gently cradled her elbow and walked her off the ground, maybe the general approach of security should be in question regardless of the gender of the trespasser.

2. If you're going to "streak" on the ground, get your gear off. Modern day streakers of all genders are weak as piss. Helen D'Amico would shake her head

Yes, the home team chairman goes into image saving mode straight away due to the social media outrage mob.

But every other streaker who gets tackled or hit and the crowd loves it, yet suddenly last night its an outrage...

They'd already tried the gentle approach and she avoided, so of course the second security guard should ensure he does the job.

They have no idea what her intentions are and besides, they can't treat her differently as you cannot assume someone's gender these days either :wink:

I agree,dont break the law,you don’t get tackled! Zero sympathy

(If it was a sling tackle unless her name is selwood, she should get weeks,)
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
